Homemade Vegetable Chicken Noodle Soup recipe – just like how Mom used to make it! The perfect bowl of comforting soup on a cold Winter day!

Guys, is this winter just crazy?

Besides a few wild snowstorms over the past few years winter has been on the mild side. Sure, we had a record setting snowfall a few times during those years, but that was it for the winter. This year, it’s just winter, all the time. We’re talking snow, ice, slush and cold all the time. It seems to me that whenever I check the weather forecast there’s some type of snowy mix being talked about. And can we talk about how much it stinks to have to walk in the snow? Living in a city is great for so many reasons, one being that I can walk and get anywhere that I want to go, but that means walking through the snow and slush and trying not to fall in the process. It’s a nightmare. On every single corner there will be a giant puddle of slush just waiting for you.

The good thing through all this cold and snow is seeing all the creatures the kids (and adults) create on the sidewalks to cause some smiles. This always cheers me up.

What else cheers me up? Coming inside from a super cold day and warming up with a big bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. That totally cheers me up.

The secret I’ve found to some great Chicken Noodle Soup is always to use a whole chicken. Not only is this going to provide the meat in your meal but it gives you that real rich chicken broth that no bouillon or boxed broth can give. Pair this with some fresh vegetables and spices and you’ll have one big bowl of soup that will be sure to warm you up.

My Mom isn’t the best chef in the world but she makes a mean soup! She always taught me to make the broth from scratch and it really does make a world of difference! I’ll have to compare this to her chicken and veggie noodle soup 🙂

It’s been a crazy winter for us too in Upstate NY! So much snow but most times it’s the fluffy pretty lake effect snow. This soup looks amazing. A bowl of this will cure any remaining winter blues! I love all the veggies you snuck in there.

I cannot even imagine that much snow. We’ve been getting flurries here and everyone freaks out, haha. I do agree that soup is the best way to warm up. Love your homemade version and that you even made your own broth!

This chicken soup looks super hearty and awesome! I hope your gardens are OK 🙂 I was just thinking last night how awesome it is that I can walk through super deep puddles and not feel a thing… Yay for rain boots! 🙂 (but i miss sandals and ballet flats!!)

I need a pair of those boots. We’ve had snow/ice/slush on the ground for 2 months. Maybe if I buy some Spring will arrive. 🙂 And is there anything better than homemade chicken noodle soup and all those veggies? Now I’m officially hungry.

This winter has been really crazy. We moved to NC and thought we were escaping bad winters and of course the snow just followed us even down here. It’s insane. I had a rosemary plant outside that was doing really well .. until the cold just kept on coming. Poor thing is looking sad. But this soup looks delicious! It’s been far too long since I’ve made chicken noodle!

I normally don’t mind winter so much but I have to agree, this winter has been brutal! It finally warmed up a bit yesterday and today but I think we are supposed to get more snow again this weekend – eeks! Love your cute boots, perfect for sloshing around and showing the snow and rain whose boss 🙂 This soup looks incredible girl, especially with all the veggies! Love the homemade broth too – a big bowl of this would definitely keep me warm and cozy:)

This sounds so easy … but looks so tasty, too. I know it’s not the case right now, but it must be so satisfying to get those basic veggies out of your own garden … and right in the middle of the city, too! Really hope you find that your plants have survived the nasty winter, Pamela!

Wow. I can’t relate to that kind of snowfall at ALL! I hope that your plants survive the cold snap, here’s hoping that they’re resilient enough under their protective greenhouse blankets. Love the look of this gorgeous, warm and nourishing soup. Beautiful! Stay warm x

A pot of ‘real’ chicken noodle soup made with a whole chicken is such a treat! Growing up, our moms always made soup that started with an actual chicken or some other meat bones. I admit I never do that and I wish I did. This must be terrific soup.
I’m just hanging on by a thread here waiting for this winter to bid farewell. Thank goodness for rain/snow boots! I don’t know how I ever lived without it.

mmmmmmm …. this would be the most perfect soup to come home to after a wet, slushy, cold day outside.
I generally like the first few snows – and I’m a sucker for extreme weather of any kind (so the huge snow falls are fun!) – but I’m WAY over this one. Bring on the sun!
And your poor garden! It just looks so cold under all that snow! I hope your beautiful veggies are doing well under there! 🙂

PS – LOVE your boots!! I want new boots, too! My rain boots are falling apart! Time for a new pair!

Digging the turmeric in this soup! I’ve been looking for more herbal remedies (like turmeric!) because I’ve been so sniffly lately and I can’t even chalk it up to wintergeddon because we’re so spoiled on the West Coast.

You know, that we still didn’t have had any snow yet in Belgium? Now, I hope it stays away & I hope Spring is coming just around the corner at your place! Your freaking delicious home-made chicken noodle soup looks very refreshing & superb too!

Glad that winter-like weather is finally over here… I hope you get some sunshine soon!
This soup looks so so comforting! Gonna check if I have all of the ingredients so as to make it for lunch today!
p.s: love your boots!

Haha this made me laugh: “On the corners while everyone stands to the sides of these puddles, I just march on through (like a boss)”… like a boss, hahahaha. This winter has been absolutely nuts. I’m so ready for spring. Nothing like a good homemade soup though to warm you up on these crazy cold days!
